Fleur de Light Candles are making a difference in the lives of those struggling with hunger. Through the sales of their See the Light, Feed the Hungry Candles, in cooperation with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadania, they have been able to feed over 19,000 people since August 2011!

I first took notice of the See the Light, Feed the Hungry Candles while working on a blogging project for Second Harvest’s Hunger Action Month last September. I can honestly say that prior to that project, I was not aware how widespread and devastating the problem of hunger is across South Louisiana. The founder of Fleur de Light Candles, Sondra Berger, recalled her parent’s depression era stories of battling food shortages and knew that she wanted to make a difference. It was a quote by Mother Theresa that says, “If you can’t feed one hundred people, feed just one,” that inspired her.

Shutterfly’s custom path gives you the ability to build your photo book to match your style and personality. The new custom path includes a variety of photo layouts, unique backgrounds, text boxes, and lots of embellishments. My favorite element is the idea pages. Sometimes staring at a blank white page with countless options is overwhelming. You can use the idea pages and simply insert your photos or use them as a starting point to spark your own creativity. Even though the backgrounds, embellishments, and idea pages are sorted by topics such as baby, family, travel and kids, if you’re working on a baby photo book don’t hesitate to look into other themes for possible embellishments and/or backgrounds.

At Shutterfly.com your photo needs don’t stop at photo books. They can also provide you with classy baby announcements for introducing your bundle and joy to family and friends. And when birthdays roll around then look to Shutterfly to assist you with birthday invitations and thank you cards. Really, the only way for you to see all the great items Shutterfly can personalize with your photos is to click here and browse there site. The project ideas truly are limitless.

I am so excited to be able to give away 10 (TEN) Shutterfly 8×8 photo books!
*taxes, shipping & handling will apply*

To enter leave a comment of what you would use your free photo book for. Would you use it for a new baby’s photos, summer vacation photos, a family reunion, wedding photos, or something else?
